Former LSU outfielder and designated hitter Sean McMullen will likely begin his professional baseball career with the Houston Astros after they picked him in the 30th round of the 2014 MLB draft. A Brother Martin graduate, McMullen is a cousin to former MLB all-star Will Clark.

McMullen's hot hitting helped LSU to the SEC tournament championship and a late-season 10-game winning streak. He finished his senior season tied for the team lead in home runs with seven. He batted .288 with 40 RBIs.

McMullen played two seasons at LSU after being a JUCO all-American in his second season at Delgado Community College.
